About this spot
In Kreuzberg's bustling Bergmannstraße, El Chilenito serves authentic Chilean comfort food that feels worlds away from the typical tourist traps. You must order the empanadas de la casa for a quick bite or settle in for a hearty bowl of pastel de choclo with sweet corn filling. The atmosphere is lively and unpretentious, perfect for grabbing a table before the evening crowd descends.
💡 Tips before you go
- Ask for extra chimichurri on your empanadas to cut through the richness of the beef and cheese fillings.
- Order the pastel de choclo as a main course rather than an appetizer; it is dense and filling enough for two people.
- Skip the bread basket if you are sharing, as the restaurant provides fresh rolls specifically designed to scoop up the thick, savory stews.
